Toczko, Rafał
This paper considers the rhetoric of the so called Pelagian controversy. Its interest lies
in a specific category of arguments drawn from a place (argumenta a loco). A brief outline of the theoretical concept of argumentum a loco and its popularity in the early Christian literature is presented. The main outcome of this study is to give a detailed analysis of the arguments used by Augustine and Zosimus.
During his controversy with Pelagius between 415 and 418, Augustine on many occasions portrays this heretic as a long-term inhabitant of Rome. I suggest that one should be skeptical about drawing exact chronology from his vague statements. The bishop of Hippo builds also a detailed topography of the Pelagian controversy mainly to persuade the Christian world of the immense danger of this new heresy. He alarms Innocent, bishop of Rome, Cyril, bishop of Alexandria, and Paulinus, bishop of Nola, that the followers of Pelagius have hideouts in their vicinities. Innocent, on his part, refrains from supporting Augustine’s prejudices about Pelagius’s popularity in Rome but excommunicates him as a heretic. Zosimus, Innocent’s follower as a bishop of Rome, reverses this verdict. He argues that that all the Roman clergy and brethren found in the alleged heretic a sound Christian. He makes reference to the exceptional authority of the Roman See in the Christian world: Pelagius is not a heretic, precisely because such is the verdict of the Roman Christians. Augustine presents Pelagius as a mendacious and cunning heretic. This is yet another context for the occurrence of an argumentum a loco. The bishop of Hippo tries to convince his addressees that Pelagius is a bad heretic, and all the more so because he lied to the bishops in Holy Land and in Rome. He succeeded in deceiving the former but felt short of harming the latter. According to Augustine’s interpretation, it was because the Roman Church had known this heretic and his error for a long time, and was not prone to his lies. On that occasion, Augustine reverses Zosimus’ arguments based on the authority of Rome and presents a flawed account of the Pope’s proceedings.

Toczko, Rafał
In this study the literary aspects of the conversion to Christianity are discussed. The
research has been based on the letters of Ambrose of Milan, Jerome of Stridon, Augustine of Hippo, and Paulinus of Nola. As we know, letters were a very effective medium of the early Christian public relations, for they were vastly copied, read aloud in the circles of noblemen and highly influential in creating the symbolic sphere. The form and style of communication e.g. the metaphors used in trumpeting the new noble Christian can give us insight not only into the art of rhetoric but also into the epistemological ramifications, imaginary schemes that constituted thinking of the aristocracy in times when Christian life became an attractive choice. The goal of this study is to present the detailed picture and systematization of the various modes in which conversion was treated as a literary theme in the correspondence of the studied period. The article focuses on two different literary phenomena: 1. The rhetoric of persuading to conversion; 2. The literary descriptions of famous aristocratic conversions. It shows that in the analyzed letters two types of metaphors prevailed: those presenting conversion as avoidance of danger, specifically of shipwrecking or falling into slavery, and those painting the image of the converted as a true philosopher. It should be also noted that I make one generic exception to comment briefly on the exceptional case of the selfpersuasion of Hilary of Arles that we find in hagiography.

Piotrowski, Robert
In this article author tries to find archaic motives of the sacrifice for demonic creatures, may be old forest deities, associated with folktales with a type of T 1030 „Devil deceived when dividing the crops” (Folktales of Aarne-Thompson-Uther type 1030 „Crop Division between Man and Ogre”). That creatures are presented in Polish folktales as a devil, or as a bear depicted in Russian folktales. Cooperation between the host and the devil brings positive effects to the host, and the devil receives plants that are useless for human being.
2019-01-25T00:00:00ZKsiężyc nad miastem. Orientalne Wilno w młodzieńczej poezji Juliusza SłowackiegoGórska, Agnieszkahttps://repozytorium.umk.pl:443/handle/item/62982020-03-30T23:20:25Z2020-03-30T00:00:00ZKsiężyc nad miastem. Orientalne Wilno w młodzieńczej poezji Juliusza Słowackiego
Górska, Agnieszka
Tematem artykułu jest Wilno w młodzieńczym wierszu Juliusza Słowackiego zatytułowanym Księżyc. Pejzaż miasta jest w nim wyraźnie inspirowany jedną z pierwszych lektur poety – arabską baśnią o Aladynie i jego cudownej lampie z Księgi tysiąca i jednej nocy. W XVIII oraz XIX wieku opowieści te były jedną z najważniejszych książek, szczególnie w przekładzie francuskiego orientalisty Antoine’a Gallanda. Czerpiąc z opowieści o Aladynie, Słowacki przedstawił Wilno jako miejsce baśniowe – pełne dziwów i orientalnego piękna. Wspomnienie rodzinnego miasta było związane z jego wielką iluminacją z 1822 roku. W miejskich światłach oraz tysiącach ulicznych latarni kilkunastoletni wtedy chłopiec zobaczył nadzwyczajne, niby baśniowe zjawisko. U Słowackiego pamięć rozświetlonego Wilna splotła się z pamięcią dziecięcej lektury. W tym lirycznym opisie miasta zaznaczyła się przy tym pewna ważna cecha wyobraźni poety, która stała się wyraźna w późniejszych utworach. Otóż dla Słowackiego mniej istotne było werystyczne ujęcie Wilna. Ważniejszy stał się obraz widziany w wyobraźni, którą inspirowały arabskie opowieści.; This article is devoted to the city of Vilnius represented in the early poem "Księżyc" ("The Moon") by Juliusz Słowacki. The image of the city is evidently inspired by one of the first book he had read, "The Arabian Nights", particularly by the story of Aladdin and his enchanted lamp. In the 18th and 19th centuries "The Arabian Nights" were one of the most important books in Europe, especially their French translation by Antoine Galland, a French orientalist. Słowacki, having drawn on the story of Aladdin, represented Vilnius as fairy-tale-like place, full of wonders and oriental delights. The memory of his home town was connected to the city illumination in 1822. The poet as a teenage boy perceived the city lights and the thousands of lanterns as an extraordinary and fairy-tale-like event. Słowacki's memory of the illuminated city intertwined with the memory of the book he had read in his childhood. In this lyrical description of the city an important feature of Słowacki's memory has already become noticeable: for the poet a veristic view was not as important as the view seen in his imagination inspired by the Arabian tales.

Brzostek, Aleksandra
This paper explores the Chinese vernacular narratives as independent stories that are found on the Internet create a different "reality" in the censored media environment. Vernacular narratives such as urban legends, rumours, gossips and conspiracy theories belong to vernacular culture, which is understood as the non-professional, non-institutional, informal, spontaneous and amateur culture. They provide a window to understanding the concerns and fears of the modern society, in this case Chinese society.

Kaźmierkiewicz, Maciej
Prezentowana recenzja podejmuje temat postsekularyzmu, historii
tego pojęcia. Postsekularyzm jest zjawiskiem kulturowym, które wynika z przemian duchowości we współczesnym świecie. Przeżycia religijne równoważą doświadczenia duchowe wynikające z obcowaniem ze sztuką – zarówno wysoką (malarstwo, literatura), jak i popkulturą (np. mecze piłki nożnej). Postsekularyzm (proces kształtowania tego zjawiska) znajduje odniesienie także w literaturze. Autorzy recenzowanego tomu analizują twórczość polskich romantyków (rozumienie sacrum) oraz modernistów (sekularyzm) i twórców literatury współczesnej (postsekularyzm).; The presented review tackles the subject of postsecularism, the history of the term. Postsecularism is a cultural phenomenon resulting from the changes spirituality is undergoing in the modern world. Religious experiences are balanced by spiritual ones generated in contact with arts, both high (painting, literature), and pop-culture (e.g. football matches). Postsecularism (the shaping process of this phenomenon) can be also found in literature. Authors of the reviewed book analyse the creative works of Polish Romantic writers (their understanding of sacrum), modernists (secularism), and authors of modern literature (postsecularism).

Wysoczyńska, Dominika S.
Celem artykułu jest ukazanie skali antysemityzmu w Złotym Wieku
w Hiszpanii oraz jego wpływu na życie społeczne, polityczne i kulturalne. Postawa ta bowiem leżała u podstaw nie tylko przełomowych wydarzeń historycznych, jak na przykład wygnanie Żydów z Hiszpanii, lecz również znalazła odbicie w malarstwie i literaturze. Niniejszy tekst zwięźle przedstawia historię antysemityzmu na Półwyspie Iberyjskim, przytacza definicję Złotego Wieku oraz prezentuje sylwetki pisarzy, którzy w swych dziełach umieszczali wątki antysemickie.; The aim of the article is to show the scale of antisemitism in the Golden Age in Spain and its impact on social, political and cultural life. This attitude was at the root of not only historical breakthroughs, such as the expulsion of Jews from Spain, but also appears in painting and literature. This text briefly presents the history of antisemitism on the Iberian Peninsula, cites the definition of the Golden Age and presents the profiles of writers who placed antisemitic threads in their works.

Osiński, Jakub
The article is devoted to three editions of emigrant letters: "Kulisy twórczości. Listy 14 pisarzy emigracyjnych do Juliusza Sakowskiego" ("The Coulisse of Creation. Letters of 14 emigrant writers to Juliusz Sakowski", 1979), "Potwierdzone istnienie. Archiwum Stefanii Zahorskiej" ("Confirmed existence. The archive of Stefania Zahorska",1988) and "Z listów do Mieczysława Grydzewskiego 1946–1966"
("Selected letters to Mieczysław Grydzewski 1946–1966", 1990). The author analyzes them in the perspective of content and editorial solutions adopted in them (selection and composition of letters, omissions, critical apparatus). In addition, the author tracks their reception and importance for research of the emigrant literature and the literary life. On the basis of this, he is reconstructing the attitude to epistolography for emigrants and researchers. In conclusion, first editions of letters by emigrant writers, journalists and editors are an important reference point for contemporary editions and they are still very useful for researchers.
